CIRCUS CRUELTY

Elephants forced to walk across metal tightropes in Thailand's Safari World

This is the cruel moment an elephant is forced to walk across a metal tightrope to form a tourist attraction in Thailand.

The fully-grown animals are being trained to teeter across reinforced ropes in front of hordes of tourists at the controversial Safari World on the outskirts of Bangkok.

Trainers make the elephants climb on to a raised platform before they make their way gingerly across using their tails to balance.

Yes, it's cruel... so is much which is done to animals in this country.  But what can you do with the thousands of domesticated elephants which have no real function now that logging has been banned?  You can't return them to the forests;  they wouldn't know how to live.  Not that I'm in any way condoning cruelty, or even lesser humiliations such as the various elephant shows (and the Surin Elephant Round-up) all round the country... but what on earth can be done with them?
